NTA Releases NEET UG 2026 Advance City Intimation Slip

The National Testing Agency has officially released the advance city intimation slip for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG) 2026. Candidates who have registered for this national-level medical entrance examination can now access the login portal to identify their allotted examination city. This release serves as a preliminary step to help candidates plan their travel and logistics well in advance of the test day.

The NEET UG exam is the primary gateway for admission into MBBS, BDS, and various other medical courses across India. This year, the NTA is utilizing a secure digital platform developed by NIC to manage the distribution of city slips. Unlike the hall ticket, this document only confirms the city where the candidate’s exam center is located, ensuring that aspirants from rural or distant areas have sufficient time to organize their movement.

To access the intimation slip, candidates must visit the designated examination services portal and provide their application number alongside their date of birth. It is essential to verify that the personal details appearing on the city slip match the original application form. If there is a discrepancy in the name, category, or photograph, candidates should contact the NTA helpdesk immediately rather than waiting for the final admit card.

Please note that this document is not the final admit card and cannot be used for entry into the examination hall. The NTA will release the formal admit cards featuring the specific venue name, shift timings, and detailed candidate instructions closer to the exam date. Aspirants are encouraged to keep their login credentials ready and download the PDF for future reference.

The NEET UG city slip is often confused with the admit card, but it does not contain the specific center name. Download this slip immediately to confirm your travel route, especially if your allotted city is different from your first preference. If the login portal displays a "Record Not Found" error despite a successful application, it usually indicates a temporary server load or a staggered release — wait two hours before attempting another login.
